Hi, everybody, Welcome to the stream. Sorry I slammed you. I
forgot that the stream was on. Hi, welcome to the stream. It's
us Table Stories Dark Fire cast. The cast were having a nice relaxing behind
the scenes conversation and I went, oh, we're tying, and then it
began I'm going to give him the option to carry on. I don't know
what we were PB was just asking me about my voice. How do you
feeling? Ok John, you got you got sick? That's right. I
didn't get sick. Okay. I don't want to I don't want to add
that for like twenty four hours. Yeah, I always I always get sick,
okay, but I didn't get sick this time. It's just like,
Okay, I did one twitch things karaoke like a week and a half ago,
and I was drunk and I was screaming my heart out and then I
got some throat virus and it just won go away. Like my throat still
sucks. I hate those throat viral Vira fucking me up. I'm okay.
How are you guys doing? Great? Man? I feel like, like
like Brad described it really well. Yesterday, after a final Fantasy seven remake,
dropped. I feel like, like the really great sex when you walk
out of the room all wobbly and now you're just exhausted. Yeah, I'm
still feeling like that. Honestly, it's like weird, my life has changed
and I can't do anything about it. I'm like, oh, okay,
wasn't that good? Though it was? I was, you know, I
was talking with about this last night. We we You got to understand so
many of us are like really big Final Fantasy seven fans, and uh me,
peebe Zygotticus and Peachy were just like shooting ship last and Brad was almost
tempted to join us even after he had like a super jam packed full day
because we were bullshitting about Final Fantasy seven. That's how much how nerdy we
are about it. And Zagatachis and I were talking and I think Final,
aside from Zelda, I think Final Fantasy seven was my first real RPG.
I was really trying to think about, like what other ones I had played
before that, and I think that was my first one. I know it
was mine aside from Zelda outside of you like like Dragon Quest on Nintendo.
But I didn't know what the fuck I was doing when I was eight years
like seven years old, playing Dragon Quest on Nintendo. Like, I didn't
know what I was doing. I was fighting blobs and crying about it.
Golden Axe was my first RPG, gold Next that doesn't really count. Okay,
I also played Golden Next, but that's not the same as the super
heavy like j RPG stories of Final and Dragon Night. You know, drop
like fifty to one hundred hours or something into a game. Yeah, Rotato
just talking about how much he doesn't like the fact that they're remaking. Is
that what he's talking about right now? Is that what he's talking about.
We don't talk about. He doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
It doesn't really matter anyway. So it's wait, aren't they remaking there?
Like seven is a new game, right or what are they doing the remastering?
No, they're completely remaking from the ground up seven, which was one
of the biggest ones that they ever did, Like so it was like this
whole it was all like polygonal kind of Doesn't that scare you though, like
because you lost anymore because of last night? Yeah, but what we saw
last night dismissed those fears. It looks like what I think of something from
your childhood, John, that's like your favorite thing, like even if it's
a movie, like you know, like how they captain Planet. You know,
do you have anything like a TV show or a kids show or something
when you whole game like Reverence, I mean shape to you, not as
much, but like Power Rangers was my ship growing up, like you did
not mess with me. So hold that love you had for Ranges when you
were younger, bring it forward and imagine that they remade it to the point
where it looks like it's as good and recaptures so perfectly all of the magic
that you felt and enjoyed from the original poer. I mean, this is
how I got it. I got this excited, probably not as excited,
but like Gears of War five, Like I'm a Gears of War one fanatic.
Just by the lack of enthusiasm from your usually very enthused voice, you
don't understand how religious I became last night, like I have. I went
from being an atheist yesterday to last night. Now I'm like, oh,
there is a God, Like I don't know, I don't know which one
it is, but there is one there is. That's how much I know.
I know. I know now. Yeah, No, it looks so
legit. It was amazing. We were all coming down from it like some
weird like high made me tear up. Its legit made me tear up.
I started going. I was just like, oh my god, it's the
weirdest thing, just because they're just doing it so well. It freaking coming
out, like are we going to do it? Watch third? Oh God,
twenty twenty yep, yeah, pretty much everything for me. Three.
I had this. I had this joke running through I had this joke running
through my head last night, like people watched that video and they were so
like amped up that they went and had sex. And then the baby is
going to come out on the day of the final fat child. This is
our newborn son. His name is Suffer. I got phoebe so good that
legit. Oh yeah, broken him. It's cast for a flank. Fell
hit him. It broke him. The only time I've ever seen whack enjoy.
The intro signed off as he couldn't couldn't waited. This makes me so
happy. I just want to see the summons and there's a lot. There's
still a lot to show, but they really did kind of like I did
not expect them to show as much as they did, and also for it
to be so so legit looking kind of expecting it to be, you know,
because I just thought it was going to be okay, and I was
going to be making excuses. I think it's because it's a big difference like
Final Fantasy, and a big differencecream people that, like a bunch of other
games, they're going to complain about Final Fantasy community. I feel like it's
a lot different than a lot of those communities in one way, in the
sense that, like, I don't feel like a lot of the people that
play Final Fantasy games are dirtbag complainers that are going to complain about every single
game that gets remade. Like I'm excited about the Final Fantasy eight remastered.
I screamed. I was whack. I was on a voice call with everybody,
and yeah, thank you go Salar for fixing that. But basically,
yeah, I heard this, I heard the song start, and I just
started screaming because I love it so much. I can't we can't talk about
it. It was so weird because I was I was streaming the thing,
and at the beginning I was speaking with Noodle in the chat about how they
can't remake it because they lost all the original files and stuff and that's why
they've never ported it onto anything. And we were kind of joking about how
that's why they won't remake that, but maybe they'll make six. And there
was a point in the actual conference thing when I was like, maybe they
started with seven so they can end on like Final Fantasy six, right,
And my brain was like, like, say eight. But then I was
like, now I'll do a call back to the beginning of the stream when
we said six, and it was at that moment that it went I was
like, what the They're actually going to redo it. But also, this
is how they kind of announced the Fun and Fantasy seven remake as well.
They put that remaster out on PlayStation four and everyone shipped themselves, Oh god,
what's happening to her just watching Final Fantasy At No, I'm not watching
anything. I'm just the fact that he said this is how they started with
seven, and I've not allowed myself to finish that thought for right now.
This is what they I know it is. They released that trailer for the
remaster and everyone was like, oh my god, they're remaking it, and
they're like, oh, it's a remaster on PlayStation four. Okay, and
then they came out later being like, oh, we're also gonna but also
hear legit remakes, so you know they've given us, They've given us hope.
And also now Square X are the only company in about probably five years
that have delivered on hope. They are the the rebels. Could I can't.
I would probably had I would die. I would have an actual heart
attack. Remat eight. Yeah, the way that they're doing seven, yeah,
yeah, it just has a really amazing story. Kevin does really really
really really freaking say might Actually that's what I was thinking this morning. I
thought, okay, well this and I were just talking about it right before
the show, was how they started seven. But if no generation, Now,
if they just like crush seven, if they crush it and like make
it like thet better than the original, if they make better the original,
right, Yeah, whoever was in that marketing meeting in Square is like the
genius and now they realize, oh my god, that of content we can
just remake and make itchise and just they're going to make so much money off
of seven because I buy like five copies. It's nostalgic about it. It's
the first game. It's not about buying like that first whatever the hell it's
called. I could buy it twice today, but I couldn't log into my
freaking square in They don't have it on Amazon yet, not unfortunately for Canada.
They have it on US and UK, but in Canada you can get
it from the actual site. Yeah. That thing with the once tiger,
the big freaking cloud on a bike model. Yeah, first class edition.
I really want the first class edition. Because how much is that first class
edition? Three hundred forty something? Yeah, pretty expected so much money.
They're gonna make much money. But what's the one with the watch? What's
the one with the watch? Which one is that? There isn't an edition
with the watch, but the watch itself is two thousand, nine hundred and
something. Yeah. I thought it was like a Sepharroth watch or some ship.
It is. Yes, it was. It was black and a silver
one. Mm hmm. I saw that watch films like said that, I
wait, wait, we're talking about gold Yeah, I've got the limit.
I've got the only single golden sephar Off watching the world. I don't know
what it means or anything. I like kind of ate my dinner or yeah.
I mean, we've sat on fundament of seven. But I wanted to
say that the thing that I was thinking about because me and Wack were talking
just then about the meeting that they had, and I feel like somebody in
that meeting went, Listen, if we cash in on the nostalgia market and
the new gamer market, we're going to make the biggest game of all time.
And if that, if they pull that off, they can literally just
go yep, his six, eight, nine, ten, whatever, just
years. The next thirty years is just all the classic best fun of fantasy
games. So please buy it for me. I like it. I mean
I will play it because you guys are so into it. I didn't.
I think I really knew people who have never played it or don't give a
fuck would still be able to play this. It looks Legit looks like the
trailers, and it looks like a good game. I love the combat.
I love that style. I really do taking turns and you figure out like
strategy. I love that it looks legit, and I think we could sit
and talk about it for the next three hours, because we did that last
night. But I don't think we should. I don't think we should tigers
here. You almost didn't make it. You don't like you live somewhere else.
You like you live in my school. Right now. You've got the
whiteboard in the background that almost looks like one of those things that you get
in science class what they called where you put the little tray underneath with the
cells on it to look at They are whiteboards. Yeah, but that thing
next underneath it exactly, there's algorithms on there for how to break into your
house and then take your shoes, youth like drawing on there. Actually it
looks like a microscope on the left. Oh, maybe you can't see on
the stream. Hang, oh it does. That's actually for my camera,
for the camera that I should be using. This this one that isn't making
me everything that looks like me. Yeah, I had to move you over
in the frame on the left of the frame. I thought that was a
microscope. That's why I thought you were in science class. I am,
what are you doing? Hmmm, we're dissecting bread world. Please don't.
I'm really annoyed actually because I really wanted to get together camera going, but
I don't have I don't have that ship. That's the only thing I didn't
get finished last night. You're here. I mean, you're here. We've
had was on a phone for episode two or something. He did it,
he made it. Well, he's gone again. He's been sent back to
space. There he is. I was quick, Well, I'm glad you're
here. That's a cool metal finger pose. You do it like the kids
this ship. It looks a long. My finger looks give it like the
d Washington's washing. This is this is way better than this, because this
looks like you're like, look how long my finger looks like? Really like,
That's why I don't flip people on. What are you gonna do?
Stabby with that thing? And I'd be like, one thousand, stab you
in the shoulder, Sarah Conna c your poor female counterparts. That's right.
I don't think. I don't think. I think you're thinking of the exact
opposite of what you should be thinking. John, Yeah, you're thinking,
all right, let's carry on. You gotta be able to reach that spot.
If you can't reach that spots, why my fingers every day you gotta
make sure you can get right in that area. Guys, coming on.
I heard someone else make the joke, so I was like, I mean
now I have to go somewhere further to have to find that line and cross
it. Now, all right, so hey, no, no, not
you. Something else lives now lives with actual ghosts. I was being told
off because I was at school and the teacher was screaming at me in science
class again in the dark, my sciences because this camera is a cock.
Okay, it's a piece of sh Did they throw did they throw off border
racers? Aren't you at my school? Definitely did? I was the worst
my cheeks trying to teach me. Okay, I'm really reserved and quiet and
calm and normal. Now that's the worst, imagine trying to teach me as
a teenager. So d n D I played the ind is more fun than
most Ye more hour from now, it'll be fantastic. Well we'll see about
that. This is really hard. This so the entire campaign is fully finished
in terms of prep by me. I have the entire rest of it ready
to go, and I just you just have to do it. And it's
actually scary. It's super scary because it makes me want to do something weird,
like yeah, well you can do that too. There's always an option,
and I would never take such agency away from you, but it does
bring about the bad, bad ending immediately the the Yeah, it's there's some
sections that I think might be quite hard, but then I thought, yeah,
I thought the Orc was quite hard, and then you sort of did
that relatively well again it yeah, yeah, there was that did help.
We barely made it out of that situation to help, and I didn't balance
that at all. I just think the roles are pretty good. I think
that's what it comes down to. Our roles were actually I think if they
would have been sucked up, I think one of us would have died well
because of that. I made Because of that, I made the rest of
the game harder. Say that, Brad, because of how well you dealt
with that. Like, there have been a couple of encounters so far where
I was like, oh you just you just as soon as you like kick
the crap outthinger, I was like, oh, you just amped up the
Orc then, and then you one against the Orc with relative ease. Kind
of you. You you. I think another round would have really started to
wear on you. I think you were running out of spells and you were
going to start taking some damage. But I was like, oh, okay,
I'll amp up from from what was like already hard mode to like annihilation
mode for the end. I'm kidding, annihilation mode great. If we're being
honest, nothing really matters right now. It's because we're all out of spells.
So yeah, you need to were you've got, You've got some things
to do. You do still have one person with you. You got Stubby,
Remember you took him instead of his blow the Orc Killer. Just a
quick recap for last week though, you guys pretty much you landed here on
the edge of this this mountain where the Gate of Fire is in under concealed
within, and the thing exploded from the top. There was all of this
like purple flame and flava pouring out la a volcano. And then you engaged
in some combat with a ship ton of hawks that were all over the place
being led by this ginormous white half giant half orcs got Gold, the white
colossal You you, along with the Rose Guard troops that were present, fought
back most of these Orcs for the most part, they've retreated. You killed
this giant Orc. You took the ring off of him. Nineteen was beguiled
by it and kind of partially partially scared of it and put it on.
It made nineteen super intelligent. That's essentially what the ring does. It has
some it has some other properties to it, I mean, but it knocks
your The main thing he does is knock your int up to twenty. So
nineteen started to do that mean thing where all the calculations happen around his head
at all times. The group of Rose Guardian troops kind of moved off one
way, and you looked up this mountain towards the area that you know you
need to head towards the same entrance that you came out of at the beginning
of the campaign lays just a little ways up the mountain ahead of you,
and we are jumping straight back into the same place where we left off.
You guys probably all looked pretty exhausted, and you're all in like you're a
in sort of Rose Guardian armor and stuff. Some of you are naked.
Who's naked and who's in what? Who's wearing right now? I'd like to
be naked. You're fully naked. You can wear clothes, by the way
for it to count as no non armored and stuff. All right, I
have I have If it does on PB put fire on me, like on
my crotch area. All right, yeah, yeah, don't look weird about
it. You I did. I thought it just sounds like an STI No,
you did, didn't you. I don't remember that I wrapped myself in
fire? But what didn't someone wrap me in fire? I did? I
did it to to PB man. I am butt naked. Yeah you digtal
flop around it all good though we're adults, well we were. We were
all on not wearing clothes. We were all naked as as wearing clothes.
I have armor on your armor in your shorts, that's right. So if
they're handling shorts or they hoart, I like the way you're thinking right now,
whack. All right, so you have, But yeah I did.
I took it off of a dead sol Good about yourself, work, but
something Yeah some breefs. Ero has some light armor on that he got from
from a rose guardian. And each of you have either kind of found some
weapons or relying on your innate abilities. Again, like around you, this
place is just chaos. There's the the volcanic activity of this non volcano has
kind of died down and stopped to a degree. The the area is still
pretty wild. There is rocks and debris falling down. There's a lot of
ash and smoke and fire and stuff like that kind of coming down and filling
the air above you. There's this flava which is running down the mountain.
For the most part, the actual heat and the and the fire doesn't affect
any of you guys. You're all immune to fire age. However, the
the bodies and stuff that are around you at charred and burning. In several
places. There are lots of dead bodies of Orcs and and humans and Rose
Guardian troops alike. It smells awful. It smells like I can't smell as
I want everybody else to know. Yeah, it's thick smoke and also just
like meat. There's there's a few corpses. There's a couple of corpses of
friends. There's the giant, great big corpse of the Goth Gold, the
White coloss On. There's probably corpses up above you. The battle was going
on all around you. You saw the the Orcs retreat to a degree,
and also in a way, the Rose Guardian troops have retreated somewhat away from
you up the mountain to try and find the the others. There is one
singular rose Guardian left behind, and just a little ways behind you, the
blue Valkyrie Archer remains with her husband, just cradling and crying, so the
sounds of her sobs behind you. As you begin to head up this mountain.
The vegetation and stuff on this mountain is either on fire or burned away
entirely, and it actually allows you to see a little clearer up the mountain.
And you guys have already done your perception checks for this, and you've
you've kind of mapped a general general route up the mountain, so you know
your destination. It's just a matter an hour of you getting there, and
also maybe trying to find some way of resting. I don't know what your
plan was call that exactly, whether it was to get up their own rest
or rest just on the side of the mountain. There's still the looming threat
of many orcs around, but as it stands right now, the way is
relatively clear for you to just kind of make you straight shot. But also
you run the risk of you know, whatever is up there beyond in the
mountain itself. So now is a good time to regroup and prepare and plan
and then maybe begin to move up the mountain, and when you want to
do that, let me know, what do you want to do now or
what are you guys doing right now on the side of this mountain while you
wait? I think we actually started moving up the mountain as well. Yeah,
the plan was to get to the top before we rested. We were
going to get closer to see make a judgment call based on what was before
us, basically where we'd be able to take a rest. Yeah. I
think the side of the mountain doesn't seem like you're going to get much of
a great rest. I think you could probably pull off a short rest of
an hour. I do have a certain spell that you're doing. Two,
you do have rest in a safe way. Yeah, and you guys,
but you did some intelligence based checks to try and work out how long you
have before these guys inside finish their ritual and potentially and a friend a friend
opened this gate up and and the friend fucked up, and see how long
you have and you pretty much were unable to termin it a bunch of foul
checks. Essentially, you don't know. So what happened At the end of
last episode, he spoke to Archimedes the Owl and then he just flew away.
Yeah, well, the way the owl works is that he needs to
pass his animal handling check to actually get a straight answer. The owl archimedes
simply, and it spoke only to Irridere and said the time has come,
and then flew away. As as the owl flew away, there was a
streak of white light in the distance Hero noticed as he flew away from Hero.
So yeah, somebody put in the in the discord the meme again,
which was that it was the dust veil meme as far as I'm concerned,
but it also really was appropriate for this the Sailor Moon thing where the guy
says, my work here is done and she says yeah, Taxiedo mask says
my work here is done. Sailor Moon says you didn't do anything, and
then it's just a frame of him turning around and leaving, and yeah,
I mean that that's what happened there. So yeah, I mean it just
it sucks. But you don't know how long you have. You don't know
whether you can get into the tiny hot and have eight hours of rest and
be very like super prepared to head into this this dungeon, into this gate
and you know, finish off this this job, or whether you've just got
to push through in this week in state. So I'm not going to give
you the answer. So you've just got to work it out between you.
Now, I think, what if I asked nicely, I've given you as
much information as I can. What if I buy you seven Yes, I'll
give you one inspiration point? Worse, I think you guys are heading upward.
Yeah, won't make you do any crazy stuff. There will be a
couple of skill checks to actually do the next section. Just FYI, but
you you're you know, like for scene setting, you are moving upwards and
it's more like bouldering at the moment. There isn't any arduous travel, but
you're you're moving up a very steep incline. You're you're heading up this is
a legit mountain at the moment. It's just kind of a rumbling mess,
and there is it's not necessarily an easy trek. You're not looking at like
a nice little morning high. It's pretty pretty rough and it's going to take
you a little ways to get up there. You've probably got maybe half an
hour two an hour max of travel up the mountain yet to do as well,
Jesus Christ an hour and a half. I'd say an hour maximum without
really really screwing up some checks here, just based on what you're looking at.
It's kind of hard to make out how long it takes to climb mountains.
I've climbed a lot of mountains, PB, thank you. Actually,
oldering is not hard compared to real mountain climbing. Oldering is where you just
climb over the mountain, climb up it with no stuff on. You've got
some hard boldering today. There you go. Mh well from ways up?
Mm hmmm. I don't think we have much time left. You're no good
right now, He's a I'm pretty pretty badly hurt, to be honest.
But you want to you want to stop now? You want to rest here?
No? I don't know. I Well, then let's push forward.
When we look at the path ahead of us, I guess what i'd ask
is, does it look like the the the eruption like is there eruptions?
Are they done from this? Uh? Yeah? From the sight? Yeah?
The the like when you first so like rivulets of lava that are coming
down, they're sort of thinning it's thinning out. Yeah, it's it's it's
stabilizing everything around you, a stabilising When you first landed, stuff was like
launching at you, rocks and fire and stuff. Now all of that has
stopped, but it's like, you know, it's it's not just turned off,
but it's not quite as like immediately wild as it was when you first
arrived. There's still like a river of flava running down besides you in that
slow lava like way. And this flava stuff is a little more loose than
than actual lava. We nicknamed it flava because I had no other real name
for it. But it really is liquid fire. It's more like napalmi looking
kind of like liquid fire as opposed to a slow moving, thick, that
thick, slow lava sluggish thing that exists. And Brad, what are we
seeing any more Orcs or any other battles going on or any other fights in
the distance anywhere us looking up the mountain? Is there anything around as far
as people or your path is clear? And I think I think you saw
a lot of the orcs move south to your left kind of as you're heading
up this mountain and north were they going up? And they just were going
I think you only saw a few of them leave, so you just saw
them head south and there is still a lot of rocks and vegetation and flame
and stuff that they're having to avoid. So I don't think you know exactly
where they went, but they didn't look like we're going up or down,
just kind of a lamb. And the same for the Rose Guardian troops,
kind of like they've divided and the troops that you were fighting with, and
they seemed to that they mentioned that they knew where the others would be or
predicted where they would be, and they headed towards up a little further and
northwards in essentially the direction that the White Orc came from. But in terms
of what you've see in front of you, I don't think you see anything
at this point. I think your your way is relatively clear. You don't
see or hear any fighting intends. The last of the fighting was really intense
when you guys finished, and then it kind of died down all around.
For now, I'm gonna try to boulder up the wall, I guess,
or up. Yeah, you guys are just heading up the mountain then,
yeah, I mean I would say that we should not go up yet.
You you want to wait here. It's not that I want to wait,
but now look at drift. Well, no good, I'm no good.
I've got nothing. My mumased out of everything I have. If we go
alongthing happens, if we run into something, How long would you need nineteen?
Well, I'd need an entire night of rest. Actually, but no,
wait, no, I don't. I'm playing nineteen again. Just about
four hours forgot, I'm not playing old as name one. I only concern
is if we wait four hours, it could all end. Then it can
end in one hour. You're right, and now could end right now.
So I feel like we need to get up there and at least assess the
situation, and then we can make a decision. What if we get up
there, though, and we run into something more powerful than thattwork, You've
run into chaos. Yes, there's things waiting for us up there. You
have to know that four hours. You're telling me. I don't disagree.
I say we take a vote. This is a difficult decision. Nineteen You
think we should rest only because I feel like we have to. I don't
think we have time. I think think we have time either. I know,
but I think it's better that we're there with our ten then not at
all. We might be able to find it. We could take that there
right, We could take it slow, and if we see anything, we
can I don't think we're in a position where things are just going to not
happen, if that makes sense. That's what I'm worried about. Is we
get up there and something's waiting for us already. That's that's exactly the point.
We're at a stage where nothing's just not going to happen, and we're
not going to be there to stop it. If we get up there,
would we be able to stop it right now? If we could, though,
we could try. There's a difference between trying and being smart, though,
But if we're too smart, then it can all end while we're just
sitting here waiting. Not wrong, but I don't like that possibility at all.
I'd rather put myself in a position where I can make something happen.
Yes, but what if we get up there and we're all weak enough to
the point where we can't do anything and we get wiped out in one shot,
Then it's often nothing. I'm just saying they're all valid points. We're
gonna lose lose situation either way. I feel like right now, if we
wait, we risk it. Well, we all know if we go,
we risk all of our lives. And I don't mind that really, But
we prepared. I think we should at least try to get inside the mountain
and then we can worry about resting. Then you don't think it'll be dangerous
if we decide to get into the mountain and rest, though, What about
that's creature? Remember Hero has learned a new magic and it's been very helpful.
It kept us safe in the snow. Hero could keep us safe from
the fire. Yes, what about that creature? What creature? You don't
remember all right? Time has been strange for me. I don't remember what
specifically you're referencing. She's us out of the cliff up there, out of
the mountainside. Oh you think it's still there after all this? Hopefully it's
not more powerful. I think we have other concerns. Remember voice that speaks
out from behind you, takes a swig of his drink and says, ah,
he's a lot. Are going to walk have a little slipping now.
He's all looking faine except for him points at you. He looks a little
banged up. Well, I yes, we were considering our best course of
action. We have certain abilities, and we want to make sure that they
are at their fullest before we confront something a little bit beyond us. You
just want to be slipping here on the side of this here blowing up mountain.
Try We were talking about resting. I don't see a dwarf in your
party, right, well, I won't be resting. Tell me where he
is. You're saying he's inside there is it. I'll head on, I'll
go there. And what am I looking for? What you said? There's
a creature at the top? What type of creature? What's that work?
Like? What? Demon? Demon? I'll be stupid, now, come
on? What is it? Demon? And the demon? That's what they
say is as a demon? Donald destroyed killed my brother. Yes, yes,
we need a priest then, don't we don't worry. We've got that.
We do. Chill him. M hm, I'm gonna cast meant your
holy symbol. I'm actually just gonna cast a cantrip of resistance. She started,
boots, I'm gonna touch him. Muh this whole still for a second.
What you doing nice? So when I do it kind of like a
whole little glowing of like gold orb kind of goes over his whole body.
Yeah like that? What you don't know me? Then you're a priest,
Yeah, surely have that for a minute, though, one of your kind?
What do you mean one of my kind? You normally use lot?
Just flying around on them little wheat dragons, you know, Hey, why
can't you go get one of them? Would not be useful? Now we
just why didn't you just fly on on them? Coming in? Just flying
on you? You got some wings, they weren't exactly readily available to us.
Well, use it all in the army. No, no, no,
no, no, no, oh you are he looks at you here
right most prominently because you're in the beautiful. I approve created some armor because
I was rather unprepared, say no more. Yeah you sell that, Yeah,
that will get a nice price. Alright, I understanding there's a lot
of happening to Ari. Okay, so demon killing is it? Okay?
No problem, I can do that, not kill the demon, usually just
hunting, but I can kill a demon. I think, yeah, that'll
that'll go nice. All right, I do think we have to move up.
I reluctantly agree, as believe me, I'm I'm rather spent myself,
but I think that we need to move. Well, he starts walking.
So I was just demon looked like, Then what am I looking at for?
Tall? Dark hair? All you wearing a mask? It's all dug
hill better than a mask, yeah, little Stu, But in a mask?
Is it? Yeah? Is that one of them company of masks slides?
Yes? I mean that's what their masks is, is that they're not
really people. There are demons. That makes sense, you know, when
they turned on everyone all of a sudden. Oh, nowhere, if you
can avoid it, don't get close to this one. Oh I don't then
to get too close no more. He lifts up his arm. He's got
all these like animal kind of looking marks, like scratches and bites and scar
scarring like that. I don't get close no more. That's why I got
good with the boat. Yes, it definitely didn't seem like complete luck.
I right, Well, okay, so use what do a lot traveling?
Do you? Well? When you're going to Kloi's lunch, we're walking while
we do this, right bro? Yeah, you guys ahead and no,
great? Great? Great? You want to move just I personally feel like
I can move quicker without clothes right, Yeah, you did move quick?
Did you just? Can you blame with a you know, like a spider?
Can you claim like a spider a wall? Because that's why I looked
like to me, I am uh as we're moving, by the way,
I'm going to be playing my firelot sort of get everybody, I guess in
a sort of readied. But what I am doing in actuality is, uh,
I'm sort of preparing the beginnings of a counter charm. Okay, yeah,
you're crazy high level ball thing that you can do that. I have
no idea what it does, but fine, it's just I'm sort of marinating
the karens Well is made entirely of fire. You can only play like hardcore
metal like you're marinating with Metallica. I wish you had metal, Brad,
Yeah, I wish. It's just the ground. You're on a volcano and
he's got a metal tune walking up behind you. There is some stuff in
the There is some stuff in Kevin McLeod's library that Goobers has tentatively titled butt
Metal. Let's go give me. I don't remember it. If you find
it, i'll put it. I'll try and find it. The mountain around
you is relatively quiet. You don't see anybody. As you guys start to
move upwards, Stubby continues to drink through another bottle of whatever. He's drinking,
some sort of dark liquor. And you guys, any of that to
share? Uh? No, you know what, We're probably gonna die.
And he just pulls out two bottles. Well that one, don't you see?
Yeah? No, I think that one. That one's good. I
don't care what it is. You just hold hands you an entire bottle of
whiskey. Oh fuck, okay, I'm gonna have some, and I will.
You now have a bottle of whiskey. You can add it to your
inventory. Wonderful gesture to uh to drift or to Eero to see if they
want any. Nineteen reaches his hand out. Yeah, I will get you
puzzled a little bit, and then I just okay, and then I handed
to you. Can you even taste that? We'll find out takes a very
small sip of it. You can't taste anything or anything, so it doesn't
really matter. But there it is. No I start moving up the mountain.
Everyone give me survival checks. It's eleven for even the seventeen seventeen that
is a something twenty twenty drift to be we can do woh twenty six from
nineteen. Yeah, you guys start moving up this like volcanic mountain scape,
it's pretty difficult, and I think you guys are probably a little bit tired,
probably from just this fight. And you know, whatever has happened,
you've somewhat kind of been reincarnated to a degree. So there is a great
deal of energy that has been expended in that you landed and immediately was thrust
into this this combat, and you're definitely tired in that, like I've just
done a massive workout. Way, I wouldn't say I feel I think you
feel rested, like you don't need to sleep necessarily, but I definitely think
you've got that set of tired legs. Picking in, there's a lot of
rocks and slate and fire and debris to avoid. Although some of it is
flaming and the fire wouldn't hurt you, the rocks and falling would still hurt
you. And you start to climb, and in places you genuinely have to
like put your hands up on a higher plateau and actually bring yourselves up drift
putting an arm. It can spider climb up, but you can help people
climb up. And yeah, you genuinely start truly bold bouldering up the mountain.
Here are Jewish law. It is not our duous for any of you.
Even Stubby does fine. If everyone really looks like she's had having the
worst time, you steel just about just about makes it up. Hey,
you had to beat it by a ten and you've got an eleven. Would
have been terrible if you roll the one. I'm gonna give you that one.
Everyone give me dexterity saving throws. Though here comes the boulders twelves.
No I know, I know because watch the twenty one ten five and that's
everyone's twelve to ten and twenty one and a five. Alright, So there
is a cranck from somewhere up above you as you're climbing upwards, and a
bunch of rocks suddenly start tumbling down towards you. Small at first, that
gives you a good idea of what's happening. Drift shouting, most of you
jump out of the way before nineteen you look up and a relatively large rock
luckily of five isn't that bad? Ronny one D four plus four really slash
roll one D four plus four seven pretty rough role for the For the role,
a rock just es I hit you, probably hits you square on the
head for a seven because it was almost max damage from this rock. The
most most of you sort of jump out of the way avoid it or hide
underneath some of these kind of alcohols and plateaus. If you carry on moving
and pushing up this mountain, climbing and climbing, and then finally everyone gives
me an athletics check just for your general state as you make it towards the
top of the fifteen the mountainventy two fifteen nineteen twenty two eleven and stout boots
pissed. I get hit by Iraq roll like I imagine it having been a
pebble compared to his size, and he was just like, yeah, you,
this is your the just general kind of try not to become exhausted by
the top of the mountain check because it is hard to climb upwards, and
I think you've rolled relatively well, so I think it probably only takes you
about half an hour thirty minutes to climb upwards over this rubble, avoiding the
falling debris foldering upwards over this really difficult terrain, endlessly hefting yourself up to
the next plateau after plateau after plateau, and then ahead of you there is
a white the white or did I tell you that? I don't know if
I told you or not that if you didn't outright kill him, he was
going to chase you up the mountain. Yes, okay, good, because
it was amazing whole thing. No. You you make it to the top
here and you see an opening that looks very similar to the opening that you
came out of in the first place. Right right at the back at the
beginning of this campaign, there is the the opening in front of you,
the cave entrance. And previously when you stepped out on this it was sunrise,
I think, and you looked out over the landscape and you could see
the smoke in the the same place. Yeah, the same place. It's
the same entrance, full circle exit circle to the the natural cave system that
existed before you found that sort of secret door into the gate of fire where
you made out. And yeah, it stands before you. It's about thirty
feet ahead of you in this plateau, maybe about two thirds of the way
up. The entirety of this mountain, like if you're on this image,
maybe you're like here, I guess, but you know that this thing leads
into this this mountainside, and Pasmal referenced it going down and down and down
and down and down. So yeah, it's before you've made it up here
nobody nobody failed any checks apart from nineteen's one. So a lot easier going
down. Wow, we're back. It's pretty different. I guess we're pretty
different too. I think we're all very different. I say, as I'm
strumming my firelote, I must say, here, that's that's an amazing riff.
What's a riff? Ah? Well, where I'm you, when you're
blinking. Where I'm from, we would always call what you were doing.
When they go faster and heavier, we'd call it a riff interesting, very
interesting and not really. It's just a word we made up for an action.
But that's what whole words, aren't they? So all words are interesting,
I'd say, I suppose, depending on your perspective, But I meant
that all words are made up exception chick brand true, So I could just
make up word right now? You want to make up a word together,
all right? For what? What are we describing for us? For the
four of us, we've been through so much together, there's already a word.
What would that word be? As I say that, I'm looking around
at the area we're in and I'm looking for a potential respots and this this
plateau is imagine halfway up the mountain into that mountain in Lord of the Rings,
the Mordor Mountain. It's probably not a great place to rest up here.
Necessarily, it's a lot windier, You're in a lot of smoke and
ash around you. It's pretty rough. You're a lot closer to the opening,
which looks like an egg which has been cracked open, and it's it's
a lot closer up here, so there's a lot more kind of danger of
debris. If you sit down here, you're more likely to get hit by
bigger rocks that haven't hit the rock, or come down the mountain and split
anything looks suspicious. Not really, You're on a You're on a plateau,
a kind of large ledge on the edge of this mountain that leads towards this
natural opening. The cave in front of you. Although you don't like it
and it's not nice, would be a safer technically just from just in terms
of your general surroundings to rest in for long periods of time. Where you
are right now is not a great place to be standing for very long.
And also you most of you need to breathe. You've got some what's breathing,
Yeah, you don't, but the everyone else pretty much to breathe.
And it's it's pretty it's pretty rough in here. And I imagine you guys
are strolling towards the opening as you as you discuss your your word. But
there is already a name for us. Oh, you can only say it
if you sing it. Never heard you sing. I didn't know there was
a word for us. We have a family. Yeah mm hmm, I
like I like that. I like that too. So do we continue?
It doesn't look like we should rest here. I'm just a little out of
breath. I just need a few moments. Maybe you should all get something
and wrap it around you breathing holes for now. It's probably only gonna get
to worse the higher we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll look
for uh, I'll be right, I'm gonna look right here for something.
We're breathing holes. I think that maybe you should not well do little rocks
and flava. I know, I was hoping there'd be some sort of scrapper.
I mean, I'm okay, oh I will, I will rip this
cloth that I'm wearing around and give it to you to just at least cover
your mouth with. I've got somebody's cloak that I'm wearing, like a yeah,
I'm just gonna probably rip before you rip it. Brad, you can
tell me if you allow me to do this. But nineteen's gonna snatch the
riped piece out of John or out of a drift's hand, and he's going
to see, Now, listen, what are you doing? He's gonna Okay,
I read I was gonna see if I could like mend it and do
a bigger piece. But you actually meant it mended back into what she tore
off, So it doesn't does He just fixes what she just store off for
me? Oh? Well, At first I thought that like maybe there was
a way, like I could make it into something more so just and then
I hand it back to you. Never mind, we should be fine this
work. Nineteen. I know you don't need one, but do you want
one? He takes his cloak, he pulls it over and goes I'll be
fine. He still got that big ass hooded cloak. So we're going in.
I don't know if we have any other choice. Stout boots or stout
boots. Brother, I am, we're both stout boots. You can call
me still be if you won't. W Are you ready? I I don't
know what we're waiting for. We're waiting for you to say you're ready.
Oh I'm ready. Oh you want me to go first? No? No,
no, no, I got this. And I just be careful.
Are you not coming in with me? Oh? I am, but be
careful? Oh? Yeah, well, and yeah, I walk in.
I'll start start to charge. Everyone heads in. Rift is heading back in
where the god? If there's chest I'm grown up by I can offer you
something worse. You walk into this, You walk into this horrible cave that
you came out of a little while ago, and the very fast thing that
you see is yourself. The drift. It's there, it's sat against the
wall, the back wall as you enter this cave, and there's some natural
light coming in on a purple hue that washes out over the entrance of the
cave and sat smaller to it's torn up. It's got these like various kind
of stab holes in it from where that creature had kind of punctured it and
torn some of the straw from the inside out and the fleece that made it
up. But it's sat kind of bent and twisted against the wall, and
it's a very poor remembered kind of rendition of you. It's this horrible,
freakish version of you that life sized when you were younger, smaller looking,
and it's sitting there kind of bent and twisted against the wall. It's propped
up. There's a there's an old kind of femur bone or something that someone
has jammed through its shoulder and into a crack in the wall that is leaving
it kind of propped up at a weird angle, sitting there looking at you
as you enter the cave again, drift. It's could I roll a perception
check while this is going on to see if that creature looks like well,
can't fucking see it? Never mind, never mind, fucking creature, piece
of ship. Do you guys think he's still here? I would still like
to roll a perception check. You may all roll perception checks if you like.
This is the same exit we left last exactly somewhere we were running from
that thing, exact same thing. Yeah, you're in the exact same cave
you came up from. Eleven channel of this, I believe the last time
twenty four, twenty four, seven, eleven and walk Yeah, seventeen seventeen.
I'll roll for Stubby because he's in there. I mean he walks in
behind you, Like, what the fuck is tefling? That's that's me,
Stubby, It's not you. You. Oh yeah, what you're taught thee
is a that was drift. We never asked before, why did you even
have that? That was? That was That was the thing that kept me
alive. This was the one that came out of the box with you,
The one that you kept you alive was just in your things. Well,
it's like it's like a mirror image. Pretty much of it was created when
he was tramped in that box and then you opened it up and he was
in there with it. Yeah, it was created because it was somewhat trying
to replicate you and that goal, because that goal was your patron, and
it took all of the things that make up Drift and created a copy and
that was that. So it's a weird twisted amalgamation of you, the energy
of your patron, and the little adult that you had with you previously.
Stubby is kind of looking over, but he's also looking at the fact that
this cave is covered in bones and like gore and horror, and most of
it is old, and not all of them are human or anything. A
lot of them look like animal bones and animal parts and skulls, preachers that
you might find on a mountain. A lot of these look like rams and
goats and sheep heads and bones and things like that. You can see a
couple of human skulls and things here. There's also a couple of splashes and
I think really only nineteen and drifts. See this. You can see some
fresher blood, relatively newly fresh looking blood, like as if it was spilled
perhaps today, maybe yesterday, ish, only fresh looking, but not much
and in drips in and around this entrance way pretty much under your feet,
not around the doll, anything around the door, any note, any kind
of No. This is all you see on like without touching or interacting with
the doll itself, and in general the doll looks kind of like just this.
This is all that's here. The other things that you may hear or
notice. Is nothing. You can hear the outside pretty well. You can
see as far as you can probably see with your tokens. I think they're
all correct, so you should only be able to see your correct night vision
or dark vision allowance. Yes, there's nothing here, and you do look
above you and look around one of you. At one point, a little
while ago, new information. I think it was writ on the creature that
lived in this cave that presumably eats all these goats and things. It was
a creature known as the long stick. It had that big long tail filament
thing that came out and stabbed and punctured, and it was hunting you while
you were in here, and it could climb spider climb all around, and
most notably, it sits at the openings of caves and waits for things to
come in and grabs them as they come in, punctures them, and eats
them. You don't see it, and you also don't hear it. That
being said, you also didn't see or hear it last time. It's a
very stealthy, horrible creature. But it really really doesn't look like it's right
here in front of you. You seem to be alone right now. Maybe
this is why we should think about taking a rest. Kept you alive.
What do you mean, not this actual thing, but you know, but
you have a smaller one too. I remember I tried to get it for
you when I was a kid. I held on to that when everyone was
being slaughtered around me, and I begged it to save me. Now I
stabbed and I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going
to die, and I begged, pleaded, said I needed you. I
need something. I don't want to die. I'm not ready to die.
I'm too young. My family, my mom got her head beaten in oh
My dad was trying to protect her in Three guys mass pinned him and had
him watch them kill my mom. Then, right when I was about to
die, I said, please save me. And I don't know where I
got the strength in this power I was able to get away. I think
for the first time, I look frightened by drift. Drift, give me
a constitution saving throw twelve twelve. You do you feel really weak for a
moment, like a like a wave of almost weakness nausea, kind of like
the strength is sapped from you for a second, I think you kind of
like maybe have to take a breath and kind of stable yourself physically, kind
of not fall over before you feel some some some strength pushed back into you
from somewhere as you yeah, yeah, I think I think that's all you
feel, just a wave of weakness pass over you for a moment there as
you think about all these things. But as the strength returns to you,
you you hear the voice in your your mind, the voice of the first,
this vampiric creature that gave you this power, gave you this strength,
and now partially co habits your body. And he says, nothing stops.
Everything before would stop around you when you would interact with this figure, but
now nothing does. You can hear it in real time as the others are
looking just you. You hear him. You hear him say, but now
you have the strength for vengeance. Trick. All right, I'm so sorry
that happened to you. Drift. It's okay, really, it's okay.
It happened, and now things are better. This full time nineteen it's just
been looking around the room. Yeah, you're you appear to be good like
for this immediate area. The opening, and it does split the cavern does
split ahead of you in two different directions, off to the left, and
I think that's the direction you came. If I zoom out on my own
personal map on the left, I think I can check. Yeah, it
was. It was the left that you came down. And you know that
the the entrance to the Gate of Fire is to the if you're looking at
this map the northwest. You didn't explore the other side of this cave at
all. I don't think you really need to, but there you didn't,
so you don't know what's over there. You do know that, you guys,
because you guys ran out of this cave, I think memory. So
you just ran and you ran, and you ran, you ran, and
you distracted it with an unseen servant and the drift doll distracted the creature and
ran out. So you guys came from this left hand al cove, and
you know that in general, following that around will lead you to the entrance
that you that you need to get to get back into the Gate of Fire.
In here looks relatively undisturbed from the destruction on the outside. There's no
flava or anything flowing through it. It seems to be relatively cool as well,
just to give you an update, and in case you're wondering, you
know, if you're talking a cave in or if it already has, it
seems to be relatively undisturbed here. I'm sorry, I'm I don't apologize.
It's a terrible, terrible time, but now we're gonna make it right.
Nineteen turns the drift, looks right at him, looks really into him for
a second. I was gone for a while. We're not really quite sure
how long. When I know, I wasn't gone long enough for you to
aged as much as you have. What happened when I was going to you?
Specifically me, I happen me? All right? That doesn't tell me
anything. What do you need to know? Why are you older now?
How did that happen? I'd like to know that too. Why do you
all catch on fire now? I'm assuming it's because of hashbareh. I don't
I died. I didn't. I thought I did as well. I thought
I did as well you did. But I was woke up and came down
like this same way we did, came back with fire. I heard I
heard him, I heard Hasmal say it was our job now to protect the
gate. I don't know if something happened to him. I imagine it did.
I think we were all given some sort of special power, new energy
to help us with this final fight. Right, So that's what happened to
me. Mm hmm. But I don't look older. We look stronger as
well, which is good because we don't need strong now before we continue to
waste more time. We're going to rest here and move on. I don't
know if here is safe. There was that creature that we encountered in this
place. What about your what about your new magics? I can do it,
yes, you'd like I can. I can past the spell here,
But I still think we need information. We're still under well the possibility that
we we might be too late if we wait. What creature there is a
it's a long stick. I can always, but it's it's very large and
a long stick. You brought me into a cave for the fucking long stick.
I'm sorry, but you're willing to hunt a demon down, but a
long stick is gonna make you shake in your boots. Yeah, you're seeing
a long stick as disgusted legs and it's a little thing. Let's disgusting.
Study Come on, let's just keep moving. Listen. I'm not saying I'm
not getting kill it. I'll kill it, okay, but I don't like
it, That's all I'm saying. Do we looking at the bones on the
ground? I'm looking around thinking what's killed all these goats? A human skull?
It was a bloody long stick. Now you know? Are you happy?
No? But I because now I know. Look, you need some
protection. Yeah, you go first, big lad. Yeah, I'm sure
that big strong dwarf scared of creature first I've ever seen of that. I
thought you were tough, all right, brother? Uh no, my brother
was a little weakling little that what he told us. Yeah, No,
hen gift that a gap? Yeah, and you're a gift of a liar.
If you think you're gonna walk in here and be scared of a long
stick, what's your problem? Don't know? You're not scared of a long
stick? Lessen. If I was made out of fucking metal as well,
I'd be less scared of Okay, some of it. Let me tell you
what we're about to walk into as much to be made out of fucking hundreds
of seals, right right, Look, nineteen starts walking. What about the
what about the room. Just on the other side of this we rested somewhere
in here right now. Yeah, that's probably a better option. At least
we'll be, isn't it. Yeah, I think so. I think you're
right. Yeah, I walk by. I don't take my eyes off that
creepy ass doll. Yeah. I'm actually going to go by the door and
just inspect it a little closer. It's like pinned in with a bone.
That's okay, Brad, Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me an investigation
check, Stubby Dubby. As much as he doesn't want to sticks with nineteen,
I don't think you need to roll up persuasion checks. So wherever you
are, nineteen Stubby will be next to you, but pretending not to be
holding onto your arm terrified. I got a sixteen. Um. So,
yeah, you look this thing over and it doesn't look like it's got anything
crazy going on. It looks like the the exact same thing that you left
behind. It looks a little more torn up than when you last kind of
saw it. It was kind of hard to make out. You just threw
it and it carried around by the unseen servant before the long stick took it
and got it and was screeching it in, stabbing at it, and you
kind of like kneel down and look at it. You don't see anything else
on the dole at all, apart from the bone which has been shoved into
the wall on A sixteen. I think you can make out that like someone
would have done this. The long stick didn't set this up like someone would
have done this. But a person probably did this. And it wasn't like
they found it in here and put it here for you, for someone something,
for some reason. But there isn't anything on it like a No,
it doesn't hold. It's not got like a hidden potion behind it or anything.
As you do look at it, though, the face turns up towards
you are what are you? You're here with me? I'm always here with
you. But am I going? Is he saying this out loud? Uh?
He is? I stayed back to kind of watch, but I don't
know if I can hear what he's saying. I imagine he's saying it quietly.
You're saying out loud. I'll roll for that. I forgot you can
talk to it without Yeah that loud? Super quiet? Okay, super quiet,
but it's also pretty quiet in here. There's the sound, the general
sound of the rumble egg. I think like, think of like, think
of like if I'm saying, like, hey, how are you, It's
like he's like leaning in and yeah, okay. The the doll like none
of its mouth moves or anything. You hear this voice in its head written
for the record. Its face doesn't move up, okay it does. The
the figure seemed like lean in and talk. What is Drifts express? I
guess when the yeah, well I just people listening eyed, yeah, wide
eyed, little little zoned out. The whole response to you as you say,
you say, what am I doing here? Yeah? Vengeance always vengeance.
This is it. This will put an end to all of your pain.
Soon you will be free of it. What about my family? They
are gone, this family. These people look, sound and act like your
family, But soon they will be gone as well. They are the new
guardians of this place, and you are not. You are different from them.
They will leave you behind, and once again you will be alone but
for me. But I love them, and I believe they love you.
I love you too, Drift, and why I have to leave because at
the end of this everything will be over. This fight with them, the
fight with your company of masks and my fight to return to this realm.
She's talking to that look at start, wish she's talking to that dog.
Ah, I don't care if he's trying to the dog. Frankly, I'm
looking around for a fucking horrible scorpions either long start drift? The fuck are
you coming? Yeah? Yeah, I I just thought it looked different than
normally saw it last time. Let's go and I just move away from the
doll soon then we'll be away. Peace drift, endless peace. As you
walk away from the doll, it looks as if it's following you as you
move away from me if you keep an eye on it at all. For
everyone else, it doesn't at all. And nineteen give me another perception check.
You're the head here. I also do a survival check as well.
The reason I want to do a survival check is because this might actually not
be the role. I'm just haven't had to ask this a long time.
I kind of want to check for like trap type things. Yeah, there's
your perception. Fourteen in the survival is a twenty five twenty five Okay,
I'll just remember. I'll hold that for as you moved through the cave,
it doesn't really look like there's any much change here. There's definitely some disturbance
to the things on the ground. The ground looks like it's been disturbed relatively
recently. Several sets of feet have moved through it, but they haven't really
left anything behind, possibly apart from the drift doll situation. But yeah,
it doesn't look like they've really done anything. There's no secret trip wires,
and to set any traps in this natural cave would be relatively obvious unless they
were magical or invisible in some way. And you don't get the sense that
that is the case in this immediate cavern that you're heading down. But you
can tell that there are that people have been through here recently and not you
guys from I think two weeks ago ish, if we that's so crazy.
Two weeks it's all it's been. But I mean, so I still have
been longer than that. I'm trying to think, but I don't think it
has. I mean, there was time, and we mess with time too.
There was, but just for the record, it's it's irrelevant. Time
was relative completely, So you were there as long as that you were there
as well, about eight days I think you spent a few days in rose
Garden, You've spent a few days traveling to rose Guard and really that's about
it. And looking about two weeks, we can probably work it out.
I did at one point keep track of it, and then I lost it
and I was like, well, Discord, no, I'll just ask them.
Discord knows more about what's going on than I do at this point.
They're amazing, Like I want to name them the I want to have them
on our last episode. Everywhere we can talk to them. Yeah, they're
not there for it. We don't need to do it. The little inquisitive
the table or something. They've been writing me questions and just before we go
to a break here, it will be a good time if you do want
to leave me questions for the roundtable we do at the end. You can
just at me on the Discord channel with a question for something that you want
answered. Or the others you can at me for questions for them if you
want as well, because I'm compiling a list for a post champaign roundtable thing,
so feel free to send me questions for things I can't answer now,
Like, oh my god, I can believe the long stick transformed into a
taiju at the end and ate them immediately after you got back from the break.
Let's done a little break. We'll do it here. As as nineteen
you continue to move forward. You don't see or hear anything on your perception
check of fourteen. As you continue to move forward, Stubby is also doing
perception checks next to you. You can see that he's hyper vigilantly looking around.
He's also got a couple of extra little things going on because he is
basically a ranger. And these two stop moving forwards drift you move away from
the doll. It kind of follows you rin you maybe give him an odd
look, and then the group begin to move now back into this natural cavern
that leads to the gate of fire. Let's go to a quick break.
Any announcements, Yes, so are you putting this on me? I think
podcast? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I think Now it's the time.
All right, y'all, We've got a podcast version of Dark Fire that's up,

treated slash remastered and starting from episode one is so sick. It's a proper
it's a proper set of podcast versions of the show to the to the maximum
level of audio quality that we can that we can craft from a Twitch stream
and it sounds pretty So yeah, even if you've seen it and heard it
or don't care, please go and rate the series for us as well,
because it helps us out just in general, helps us so much. So
do that on the break, click on the link, head over there,
give us five stars or the long stick will get you all right, We'll
see you in a few or the drift. Hello everybody, and welcome back
to Zero Blue Oriyon with Tiger Writer. He eats the protein bar from our
Monday show Zero Blue Ryan. It's anime. It's in the future, and
if you don't know what that meme means then you can only find out by
watching Zero Blue Oryan on our VODs or on Mondays. See you then,
But for now, we're doing some dark fires nineteen. What do you want?
And Stubby begin to lead the way through this cavern and you can you
can move yourselves a little bit forward if you want. Don't don't go wild,
but you can. You can move your tokens along the cavern here a
little bit as you start to move through. Who has dark vision and who
doesn't? Just everyone? But nineteen still, isn't it? That's correct?
Correct? Do you want to do anything about that tiger? Because it's dark
in here? There is no there's a there's a decent amount of light that
spills in in the entrance way, but you're starting to move into an area
that becomes pitch black. Yes. Can I roll an intelligence check to see
if I'm smart enough to remember this place piece by piece? Because I'm so
smart now, I'm That is the best all your thing you've ever asked for.
That was that's pretty good. Actually you got him. I could see
it on brand face right away. Yeah, that was great. Give me
and you can have it with advantage as well, because a it's only been
two weeks and B that was great. Intelligence check, Brett, you can
give it an in check. You can give me a history check. I
guess that's an intelligence space check if you want. M's look here real quick.
I don't know what one you might be proficient in it, but this
isn't really what history is for. But we don't get to use the other
roles that much. So I'm sure roll animal handling to find the protein bar
on the ground. M hm, this seven, you got an advantage?
Oh yeah, yeah, look at you, John, you know I think
we're all stepping up? Does this make does this make it work? You
get a nine? You can add them all together for the answer, because
you've rolled a seven and an eight that I'll take the eight, do you.
Here's here's why you get an eight. I think is because you were
blind during this entire thing before, and it was just a horrendous mess for
you where you were just grabbing onto someone. It was either euro or Drift
or someone, and they were just running you through this place. So even
though you're like hyper intelligent and you remember it very clearly, you generally only
understand that the direction is northwest of where you are on the on the battle
map here, heading through these caverns. And it's a relatively wide kind of
cavern here as well. It's it's it's a pretty big open cavn. Whey,
It's not like you guys are crushed in and pushing along the walls or
anything. It's pretty pretty wide open, is about fifteen feet across. It's
naturally made, so it shifts and changes, but it's just a fifteen foot
across, maybe maybe twenty feet high in certain places, naturally formed caven system
that you know, generally opens up in areas further in. Other than that,
it's it's just rock like. It's just this natural cavern system punctuated with
open areas of just just brown. Yes, he does as a dwarf.
Fucking you have light? Did you take light this time? Or not?
No? Right now? You would you like light cast upon you? I
can do it, but I'm afraid you'll become some sort of a beacon.
Ah, well, fucked? Why not roaring here? Aren't we? Doesn't
it? How long does it last? Are? Well? But I mean
I don't want to there? Okay, as he shouts back, Oh great,
I shall cast light upon nineteen nineteen's nineteen shouting is he's just talking,
You're all you're all echoing. Even the hero is yecast light? Yeah?
Down the thing? You shake his head, yes, and by that.
He says, yeah, all right, I'll cast I'll cast light on on
Nineteen's okay, but shield or his weapon whichever he's brandishing my shield. All
right, well i'll cast light. Then if we keep going, will he
still have it? Yes? But do we want that? We don't want
him to be beacon for I want to see. Oh but I flame on.
I just immediately like myself on fire. Yeah, what's happening, I'm
basically a torch now he can see. Stubby turns around and says they're blamed
the long stocks that are blind that they can hear. Bring that off.
You'll burn someone, not us, but Stubby. Maybe my apologies. Does
it actually hurt like hurt people? No, I think you can pick to
have it hurt people. Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, yeah,
because it's like a fire basically again, but somewhere I can give you
again if you want, I can find it. I still have my loots
on fire as well. Well, I don't see a torch. I didn't
just stub his toe. Did do you even have toes? You're over hurts?
You just have like boot shaped green. Don't know where the thing is,
but I'm pretty sure that you can choose a certain amount of creatures within
a certain range to be burned by it when you're flamed on. Yeah,
I gave you all this stuff somewhere, so I don't know if it's on
your shoet or not. But I apparently I don't have it because I don't
know. Okay, but you can't light on nineteen eros, yes, regardless
of the flame on and stuff. Okay, nineteen you can see ahead of
you. You don't recognize anything just flame on. You could flame on as
well, but the you don't recognize anything necessarily ahead of you, but you
do know the general direction you need to trauma there. I think like over
yah in general, and I'm going to still treat Stubby as within five feet
of nineteen but just if I leave his token behind because I'm distracted by other
things in my beauty, you and your beauty. Of course, that's where
are you distracted? Brad Moving, I'm always distracted. I find a fantasy
seven dropped last night. Okay, I thought maybe there was something in the
scape with us. No, I'm just this entire time, I've been watching
the trailer on repeat on this screen. What do you think? How are
you joking. No, I'm distracted because there's a very strange sound that comes
at you from down the from the hallway. Give me a perception checks everyone,
damn it, dude, nine advantage. You can have advantage. Everyone
gets advantage except for me. I just got kicked out. Choose not to
that's fine. No, I mean I have permanent disadvantage because that thing that
sucked me up, and that's under what cave got a seven then re rulled
for a twenty because wow, you don't. You don't get distrivantage. You
just cant all audio perception checks are at permanent disadvantage. You already had advantage,
so it's canceled out normal normal, you get nine, So it's a
nine. Yeah, I'm getting there. I'm sorry it did between seventeen from
Stubby, twenty from Drift and a Why what the hell you should be able
to pick when it does it? I don't know. Fine, we'll take
this. Well, so that's enough. It's enough. You will you all
hear this thing? Do you hear something come from further down the the caverns
here? Like a sort of noise which way which direction from the direction that
you're headed. Stubby immediately that's it. That's static knocks and arrow. Are
we running past it to where we've been before? I don't think we should
run now. I think we should kill it so that way we can rest
somewhere. I also think that it probably already knows Yeah, what did you
say, nineteen? He probably already knows where he? Of course it does.
God damn, Brad. How high is this wall? Fifteen feet?
I'm gonna climb it. Yeah, I'm gonna climb to the ceiling. You
doing, just trust he's on the ceiling. He's on the ceiling and from
me, as you know, roll o, roll the You hear a voice,
young Drift that says it's no match for your new power. Okay,
you could kill it with your eyes closed. CHI can climb walls, but
you can't climb a rope. Was almost literally in hailed that, Adil and
my water bottles. So do I see anything, Brad up here? Uh?
You do not, Jesus Christ, looks all clear up here? Nothing
nothing here Yet. I was like, let's just move forward. I guess
here. I got a little stronger, and I'm going to follow them.
Just I'm going to be on the top ceiling. Is everyone moving forward quietly
stealthily, or you're just moving forward now. Finally, everyone stealth checks if
you're moving moving stealthily. Thirteen fifteen. Stubby gets a fifteen. You'll see
what septs for steal check. Everyone give me perception checks. So you guys
start creeping forward. Stubby's kind of looking upwards, looking everywhere. Everyone's looking
around. You are being hunted eleven for perception twenty you are. I think
you guys, move along this next area and I'll move you up a little
bit too interhere, and you start to see this drift. You're still on
the ceiling. You start to see this opening and and oh, as you
move into this this kind of opening, you see a it's not really a
stalagmite or anything, but it's just a portion. That's what are these things
called. Here the stalagmite and stalag type hit each other and become a single
kind of pole of wall. I'm good at I'm good at words. I'm
trying to watch the final Fantasy trailer. There's a there's a pillar, that's
what it's called a pillar in front of you, and sitting perched clasped around
the pillar, looking at you. My god, I need to stop punching
my thing ahead of you, just out of you, but you can kind
of make out the word long stick. Over here on this pillar. You
see this horrible creature, this this animal that has this kind of scorpion like
body with this strange filament that sticks out of its back. And then this
spider like mandible, multi eyed crabhead looking around this pillar and it is intently
looking at you as you approach the area, but it is one of us.
Rear Era, Oh, Era, you don't see it, sorry,
Era, I thought yours was an eleven. Everyone else sees it. Where's
your perception? Oh twelve? Yeah, you see it. Everyone sees it
except for Ero, and it's looking at you. I'm going to give you
a turn order. Fuck God damn it, because it knew you was here,
like as soon as you came in. But it has only just now
worked out. Well, it doesn't think that you can see it, So
everyone rolled me initiative. Initiative has been rolled at eighteen ship I think gold
Baby, seventeen year old fifteen and I rolled above a ten for initiative.
I think that's literally a first for for nineteen. The long stick fuck one
hundred and forty one for fourticulously fast, eight on the long uh fourteen on
stubby, which mean griff. You go first. As the long stick sits
on the wall, climbing attached to it, told around it perfectly, still
almost the exact same color as the wall itself, sitting at the edge of
your vision, staring at you. What would you like to do? It's
about how far away from you is this thing? Right now you're on the
ceiling. It is sixty feet away from you. Oh boy, yeah it
doesn't. Let's have some fun. I want him to know we're there because
we're obviously gonna do that. I'm gonna call out real quick and just be
like, are we doing this? Bye? In the group? What prep
an arrow and pull it back? What are you doing? Yesero ready?
And as I say ready, I instantly from the ceiling upside down, cockback
a couple elders. I hate doing this in caves. I hate using spells
and caves. I won't mess well now that I'm saying now, I'm freaking
out even more. Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm an elders. Blast
this little there we go on the long throwing it out. Seventeen seventeen is
a hit, great now with this. If you're okay with it, I'll
do it on the second one. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it on
the second one because I didn't call it before. But on the second one,
if you're okay with it, I'll show damage in a second. I
would like to drop down, and as I'm dropping, i'd like to throw
the second one out so we fall like it brings him down and I drag
him and I down. Okay, Yeah, give me the atack roll.
Okay, So I'll show damage in a second back roll on the set on
the second so you just see drifts. One eld just blasts out and then
you just see him like sort of like push off the ceiling and flip around,
and second elders blast uh right here. Two twenty two is a hit.
So I'll do damage on that first one. Four eight it's twelve damage
twelve damn. And he pulled ten feet towards us and down from the ceiling.
He is dragged off of this pillar suddenly like it's hit by this spot
and you see it kind of react to it. Three of its kind of
legs are displaced. It grabs the purchase before the second one hits it as
it falls off naturally, it is dragged away from the thing and pulled off
the edge of the off the edge of the pillar romney two D six ten
damage it another ten bludgeoning damage from the fall end because it was about twenty
two there. It is there and it's it is hit grabbed by the grasp
of hate and drank off this thing. It's turned upside down. It lands
kind of in a crunch on its back. It spins over very quickly and
opens up this horrible giant set of mandibles and looks like it's gonna rush at
you. Now it starts to run across the ground towards you, but you
don't want a bunch of damage to it. Let's see, Uh is that
India turn there? Drift? That's it. I will also I'm gonna I'm
gonna peel off to the right, all right here, dr all right,
right, as soon as I see this creek, I wanted to give you
vision, Yes, as soon as I have just there's like I stifle the
full yell, but there's a and I I will move forward and fire a
firebolt. And that's very fast, like it's like a panic fire bolt,
like fire live the fire. Yes, And I it's twenty seven seven.
Here, give me that damage, thanks money needed to month seven fire,
and then I will duck back behind nineteen. Yeah heero. You see the
thing lands awkwardly after Drift drops it, and you see kind of part of
its carapis break and snap open. With the flames that you launch over.
You see it kind of push and break this carapace off, and it's flung
backwards, and you can see kind of part of its back is exposed,
this like soft flesh underneath, and there's all this strange sort of white mucus
underneath. There's somewhat translucent inflaces and kind of patches of blood, and Stubby
shouts at all of you. Stubby shouts suddenly and points and says, oh,
use lot, that's flammable. That like super flammable, pointing at the
fire. Nineteen. It's your turn. It's blood is flammable, right,
yeah, it's exactually a cave fish in the Monster manual or wherever I got
it from. Mightbe from Bolos or something. Oh it was the Tomb of
Beasts. Is the time of base usual? I think so, I think
so. I don't know. It doesn't look like it is, because all
I've got it. At the MG, We're good. Still your fine?
Yeah, what do you want to do? Okay. The first thing he
does is he kind of takes his shield and he kind of puts a shield
in front of him, and then this little spot in the middle of the
shield starts to like turn on fire and kind of flame up a bunch,
and he's gonna shoot a fire ball as well at him, or a fire
bolt, and it's gonna come out of the shield because I just think it
would look cool. So it comes out in the middle of shield. It
just like it almost like a gun, like it almost is so hard it
like he actually kind of stumbles back a little bit. He's like, whoa,
all right, and he shoots a fire bolt at him as well.
For a twenty one. Twenty one is a hit. It is now vulnerable
to find at damage. So you'll do bubble damage. Ignore that thing right
there? Sorry, not that the wrong thing. So from fourteen damage to
it fourteen in total, uh double damage. Remember it was seven yes,
seven? Yeah, yeah, that should be it. Yeah, I just
got confused for a seconds. Yeah, this fireball launches out and you see
the flame catch the back of this thing and then suddenly, the whole creature
just suddenly goes up in a ball of fire, and it's on fire now
as it's running towards you. Oh, because it's moving across the ground quickly.
It's now just complete. It's leaving like a trail of fire behind it,
as if it's leaking fortroleum jelly kind of thing behind it, and it
starts to move. And yes, it's from Volos. The reason I thought
it was Volos is because I don't have Volo's guy in fort but I do
have Modern Kinds and the Monster Manual, and I couldn't find it when I
looked for it earlier on, so I'm like, were must be Volos.
Last thing he puts a shield down in front of he's just preparing to be
attacked potentially. Subby says, oh, I fucking hit these things, and
he fires a natural twenty arrow in into the into the front of this In
fact, he actually gets two shots, so I'll just roll them both.
Oh he misses the second one. He fires an arrow into this thing's face,
into its head, but it keeps running. He only deals ten damage,
which is not quite enough to kill it, which leaves us to ring
one last person before it gets its turn, and you rolled the fire bolt
on a six? Is a miss? Is there anything else you'd like to
do on your turn? No? Come on? Okay, how does this
look? By the way, because there is a flaming, giant, horrible
bug crab creature preparing a big scorpion filament to stab you in the heart,
running at you in this cave. And what do you do? Well?
I put my bow down because I did have it ready, and then I
go to, I guess shoot a firebolt, which I've done maybe once before,
and I think I just I miss, I just flat out miss.
It works if you point your fingers, are you okay? Shit? And
the long stick runs at you, runs all the way up to where you
guys. Are you? Guys? Are guys? Are you? Guys?
Are elevated like five six feet up in the air, and it just starts
running up the side of this thing. There's a a sort of waft of
heat, but you guys aren't affected by it. Stubby maybe stumbles backwards a
little bit, and this huge great filament that's on its fact kind of like
a scorpion spike, heels back and then just launches itself towards towards you.
Uh uh uh ah, oh my God, give me a strength save rin.
You got this rin eight that is a fail. The filament poision forever
grapples you. It's sticky. This thing just grabs at you pretty much,
and you feel that this horrible super glue like feeling as it as it attaches
itself to your Are you in clothing? You're in armor? Right? Do
you find something clothing? Okay? So it grabs onto this clothing that you've
got, and the fire, the fire like pushes onto your body and you
can feel it, but it does nothing, thank god, because it would
have been pretty nasty. And then the thing is going to try to actually
bite and chlaw at you now with advantage. What is your AC sixteen?
Oh yeah, but it's two hits, Jitu, it's not good. So
I'm just going to roll all of it, which is forty six plus six?
What because it's two attacks and they both here, so I think probably
the spilament comes up and just bursts through your shoulder and pierces through your shoulder,
and then it also kind of grabs onto you and starts clawing at you
and scraping at you. But it's many legs and pincers, and this thing
is now like half hanging onto the cliffs or the plateau edge and half hanging
on to rin Rin. I'll give you the honors of rolling me a d
ten as it burns and dies on its turn because it's on fire. It's
on fire, and it took burn damage again, another one of my creatures
burning to death on its turn. As it jumps up at you and it
burn looks like it's stabbed me, and I'm holding it steady, and then
it just fucking dies and then it just falls backwards. I think, give
me another strength check to not be dranked off the edge with it. Nineteen.
Yeah. The filament like ripped part of your clothing out and the slick
blood from the wound in your shoulder allows it to just pull free from you
as its entire form just plans and dies on this on the on the floor
in front of you. Spit on it when you when you when you first
encountered this thing, it was so it was pretty rare. Is the fire
who lit it on fire? I did, Okay, I'm just I've thought
maybe it was Drift's kill there for a second, and I got excited.
Sorry, we also listed on fire myself in nineteen. Are you all right?
Yeah, I'll be fine for fine, give me perception checks real quick.
Stubby looks across all of you and says he's pretty strong. Eh fourteen
my third nine on a fucking perception check eighteen yeah, four your health permanently
becomes nine. Close anyway, what have we got? Nine? Fourteen eighteen
fourteen, and then give me survival checks thirteen I'm an eight sorry thirteen,
and Stubby rolls in natural twenty. All right, So you kill this thing
and like it lands and you can you can see this huge form kind of
curl in on itself like a dead spire dog, and the this is its
layer. This is where all of its main kills are. There are a
lot more bones here, and it lands in a big pile of them.
This thing's probably been alive for a really long time, because there's a lot
of bones in here, and it looks like it eats well and frequently.
The cave around you falls relatively silent, but you do notice that you can
hear like a roaring fire kind of sound. Now that you're this far in
and you're less distracted by the kind of like that but not like there's a
flamethrower in my left as more like more like you can hear it in the
distance. Nineteen roll me an intelligence check. I would love to do that
for you, Bradley. The survival check is just to just to keep you
on track because you can see some one thirteen stuff on the ground. Here.
You can see that there is scuff marks and it looks like people climb
down this little tiny six seven foot legend in front of you. There is
like a like a section that you can see where it has been something was
stuck in the ground, like a peiton or something, and the pecan pecan,
like two pecans that are in the area. Two pekans have been used
to create something to like lower something down. Here is I think what you
can you can make out on your thirteen intelligence strong ass pecans. I noticed
their pecans, right? Do you not know what a peton is? It's
a peton I do now. It's like those things that you climb mountains with
that you stick in the Okay, Okay, they're just you were saying a
nut. They're just they're they're a meme at this point, because everyone in
D and D always gets a set of them in their fucking explorer's pack,
and I hate them because everyone's like, can I use these pitons to kill
this enemy instantly? Like powerword kill? Yes, you can. You.
You can see that this area in front of you has been manipulated in some
way recently, and then something has been dragged through the bones, dispersing them.
That wasn't the long stick because it moved along on its legs and it
was generally up on the ceiling and stuff. People have moved through this area
and the thirteen inch check. The roaring fire is weird because previously, when
you were in here, the big weird magical door, the illusiory kind of
door, didn't allow sound to pass through it. The sound that you're hearing
that fire is of that constant moving flava in the gate of fire that was
just ever constant, and you can hear it really clearly here as if that
door is open ahead of you. It seems as though the door might be
open ahead of us. How does he get through here without fighting? This
thing doesn't matter, No, I guess not. We should keep on.
Let's go right. I jumped down and start moving. Well, I'll move
over here and jump down because he's probably still burning a little different down the
cliff. I did not jump. It might be that you came around the
other way a little bit, but you came down here, saw this,
and then we're like fuck that, and then we turned around and went back
here. Might you might have gone this way. I can't remember. It's
the same. I remember the sledge because I was like this year specifically.
Here is where the token for the unseen Servant was when you were all hidden
here and the long It was in the same area basically as it was,
and you can move forward. I'm gonna just ignore Stubby's token for now,
and you guys want to just move on up to the entrance way of the
we know our way now, Yeah, feel free to move your tokens all
the way up. You can see it, okay, what is that you
You should be able to see it. It aladdens up to you once again.
As you approach the gate of fire, you can see that that illusory
wall is gone. There is sound pouring out from the from the fire.
You can also see this flame. There are elements the map kind of doesn't
let me manipulate it too much, but the there are elements of purple fire
within the flyer the flava, and there are also elements of like red fire,
the same fire that you experienced. The fit, the tiles, the
walls, the architecture, and things are still red red slabs with the runic
archaic writing being perfect. Do we do we understand that? Now? You
do? Not? Okay, which I'm going to let nineteen give me an
intelligence check for you? Damn right, for this would be sick. Are
you ready for this domain? No? Really for a good question? Fourteen
are fourteen it's a good one before it Like when we cross the threshold when
you come home, you're like a start taking off her shoes or like what
yeah, We're like, yeah, this feels good. Yeah, you're really
in that position you you guys. It is like that, I think for
you as you approach this thing, nineteen you see the archaic writing, and
whether you come to the conclusion that Rin does of like, do I understand
what this is? Looking at it? To you? It doesn't look like
a language to you, Like, it does look like a language just if
you look at it, but really it's it's not a language. Like this
whole time everyone's always assumed it was a language. It kind of doesn't look
like a language to you, and also you have this innate feeling that it's
not a language. Yeah, I don't think you think it's a language at
all. Well, the door seems to be open. I don't think this
is a language. The fuck is this cup, Brad? That's the cup
that was there before? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
there is nothing in it right now. Everything is wide open, are
you guys? Stepping in natural cavern system? Kind of just turns a corner,
there is there's a bra, brasier, Brasiera bra next year a brazier.
Yeah that was a TV show. Damn, it was a long time
ago. Showing your age, okay, just I'm not left to try to
show my age. Just across my face, broad the and ahead of you
there is this the gate of fire opens up before you, with these these
canals of flava that lead into this great, big hallway into this red slabbed
temple looking structure that leads slightly downwards into this mountain. And you turn around
and speak to Stubby mm hmm, he is here. He's token's not there,
because I couldn't be you if we go in there. I need you
to know it's quite hot, but it will affect you. What is that
heat? Fire? Plain? I wasn't expecting that. Is that a demon's
home? Where is there a fire demon? I don't think so. No,
it's already who I'm sweating a Let's go, then, shall wear?
Brad? I have a picture. Maybe we should take a short rest before
we continue. What if when we walk in, though, what if Hasmore
has something prepared for us? This is his domain. I don't think hasmos
with us anymore. I don't think he is either, But what if what
if we walk in it does everything for us? Brad? I have a
question, do I, or do at least those of us who are I
guess taking over for Hasmal? Do we have some sort of understanding? Like
when I look at that cup, do I know what it does now,
or what it's supposed to do or what's supposed to go in it? Or
am I just clueless? Still pretty clueless? Honestly, I think it's a
fairly similar mental aptitude approach. So we have no idea how this place works.
Still, seeing that the door is down and open makes you maybe if
I can force some emotions on you, make you feel a little agitated,
I think you can feel deep within you a little leg okay yeah, kind
of feeling, and you can feel that sweltering heat upon your on your on
your skin. I think as well, to force another emotion on you a
little bit, that heat maybe doesn't upset you as much this time, I
think, this time feeling that heat, that very specific heat from this the
gate of fire on your skin this time, like you suggested, it does
feel relatively good, almost almost like you've come home. But again, you
can also see very clearly that several people have been through here, and shoes
with their shoes on, for sure, And I think that's probably one thing
that you can see is on the ground here there is probably dirty bootprints marring
the previously impeccable clean floors. Remember these This place looks brand new. It's
probably older than half of the things that exist on the planet, and it
just looks brand new. There isn't a scuff on the tiles, there isn't
a chip on the slabs. Everything looks brand new. That the fires still
burn relatively warm orange in parts they burst with little flecks of purple. The
archaic writing on the walls has gone from being red and yellow and orange white
to purples and oranges. There's a flash of purple in there at the moment
as well. You can feel like a sense of a corruption in the place
that's not good. And you can see that the the floors look dirty.
People have just been moving through here. There's some there's some mud, and
I think, honestly, Stubby just got a natural twenty. He points at
the ground and says, something's been dragged through there as well. Work is
a sled. You should dragged yok at it. He points to an area
and the have something for the ritual. It looks like there's mud that's dragged
in lines in places, like something that's been pulled through here as well.
And oh my god, if I punched that thing one more time. Oh
no, I just remembered I'm playing nineteen and not oldest. So my thought
process does not matter. But it's a good thought process, and I hope
somebody else pings it in their brain. Well, your thought process does matter,
because you're the smartest one in the room. Yeah, but I was
not a part of anything that happened. Oh shit, okay there, Well,
I don't disagree with heero. You should take a short rest. Yet
I'd like to investigate the spots that look like something was dragged. I want
to see if I can find any sort of clue as to what it was,
Like. Is it how big is it? He said Sled. So
I'm assuming it's like I mean, investigation body sized. Yeah, is it
the shape of a human? For else eleven? To you, it probably
looks like someone's just smudging mud lines, he said Sled. Do you think
maybe sack sack full of stuff Santa's dragged to sack through here kind of kind
of situation like it's it's that some of the mud across the threshold. Is
that? Okay, Bred, what do you want? I would like to
do a survival check on that mark where it looks dragged. I wouldn't want
to see if I would recognize maybe like this might sound dumb, but I
want to look. I guess maybe it'd be investigation then, but I want
to look as much into it as I can to see if this is gonna
sound silly, but I'm really smart and I had, like, you know,
because of what he did in the past. I want to see if
I would know maybe the size of the person that was dragged, or maybe
if I would just realize like maybe I see a hoof print, maybe I
see a footprint, so we know it might be human stuff like that.
Okay, give me investigation check, so wee you can work out euro drift.
Can you make this out? Twenty seven? Motherfucker? You do the
classic lean down sherlock all the do. I pull out a little magnifying glass,
even though I don't actually have about a comical serious start looking over the
bits here, you would you would think that, oh my god, nineteen
smarter than pop Kicks. It's possible that people have come and gone from here
a couple of times. It's not necessarily like they all just kind of bundled
in. It looks like maybe people have been in once, come back out
and gone back in. They for sure are dragging something in there with them.
It's not like they and it doesn't seem like something big, but it
seems like if you just wanted to, I think probably you would guess that
it was not really them dragging something, but maybe something like a wheelbarrow or
like a little cart or something like that. And that's what CAUs is causing
all these lines in the facts. It's random strand of hair or anything.
The smudging is more just that people have come and gone a couple of times,
and the lines are from maybe cartwheels, and you're only getting them at
the threshold here. As the natural cave meets with the doorway, it very
quickly disperses. And they're not like dragging these massive, great obvious footprints in.
They've brought some things in here, probably by wheelbarrow or small little cart.
Whatever they drug in there. It wasn't somebody they drag in there.
It's whatever they have in the cart that they were dragging. Those are wheels.
Oh, they were pulling something in something. Looks like they've done it
a couple of times. They've been going back and forth. I wonder what
they need? What what is something they need? Multiple of I don't who's
there? He said it was a demon. Well, as you can see
by the prince, there's multiple people there are, well, the cults of
the sort of sort. I love cults. All right, okay, great,
So what they're like? Are they little demons too? Are they people?
We don't know? They're people? People? All right? Okay?
Do I feel sick? It's so hot? Everyone gets too HP recovered?
Wait? Why oh wait? Say sorry, sorry drift. You don't get
too h p Why but I'm feeling a little better. Does that hurt me?
No, it doesn't hurt you. A little bit of a second wind.
But it's very comfortable in here. Actually, yeah, tells me that
if we rest, we won't make it. I'm sorry I said that the
wards were hardy. But you don't need to go proving that you're all double
ard, you know, Okay, maybe you should take honest, just just
a little one. I mean, I'm still bleeding. I think, Yeah,
it doesn't look good. No, it doesn't a bit spent. I
think we need to take a short rest at least. You know. I'll
take you up on that. But I'm gonna go and sit like over there.
I'll sit over there, and I'll try and keep an eye out because
I don't want to buy any doorway here. It's too hot. Kind of
heads to the like somewhere and we can sleep here. It settles down,
and he's going to sleep. If i'm a little bit, if I'm feeling
a little bit better from the heat, then perhaps I would move a bit
closer. I would for sure, Yeah, I move in closer. It
feels good, it feels familiar. Like little little fly is called I didn't
used to everyone promise the Yeah, so you guys can all settle down and
beginner. A short rest, A short rest isn't is an hour by the
way, you can sit. You don't have to sleep. Rests do not
require you to sleep. And none of you, I think are even tired
by the way now in terms of sleepy time, because you feel like you've
been asleep for a long time. And I'll just be tooling on a little
the shift drift rift, the drift drifts. How many hit diye do we
get in a shirt rest? As many? You also get it. You
also get a bonus because of my bodic bullshit. As many as we want.
You can use as many as you want. Yeah, but you just
won't have anymore if you need them later on for another show. Yeah,
that's true. If you if you are rolling a hit Die, you get
a bonus one D six just once, just roll for me right there.
I'm gonna I'm gonna use three hit die yeahn too good rolls, Oh baby,
three, I'm going to use. Fours are awesome. On the higher
level, they become they might be the best class in it. Really,
it's really fucking gorgeous. What is my head dye? Especially for orthodox DND?
What the fuck? Whoa wow? Is that zero on your hip?
Yeah? Yeah, I have a lot of hit dicey and I might have
to use more than this. Fucking Do you get any spells back out of
shorts? I can't recall or it depends on the class. I don't think
cleric is still. Oh that's not bad. And I get a one D
six crack from you, I think, yeah, I'm gonna use another.
I'm like, wow, feel good, baby, there we go. Oh
fuck sake, all right, you can you can feel this. This area
is energizing you guys a little bit as well. Rin nineteen iridic real quick,
no spell slotslow, real fast. Now you get all of your spell
slots back. Yeah, we get a short rest for home boys. You
also get all of your hip dice back. You are also full h knew
it. You got whatever you got on your hit dice So you didn't get
yourself because you're a wallop. You get them because you're a wallop, but
not because you are being healed by the gate of fire here. Okay,
oh man? So is it like when I sit down, does my wound
just heal itself, I think a little bit. Yeah, yeah, because
I was going to patch it up. But I imagine if this place is
actually healing us, it probably just heals itself. I am doing a song
of rest. Perhaps some of them how the tiger is dying what is called
the wrong tube. Perhaps perhaps some of the fire from my fire lute licks
out to heal some of your wounds. Whoa with my song of reast.
Yeah, you can have your hip dice stuff, you get your spells bank,
you have other ways to heal yourself. Unfortunately, Drift so again so
for a good portion of this campaign, John aka Drift has had some broken
extra stuff going on, and up until now, you guys have just pretty
much played your classes up until now. Now, at the end of each
of your turns, you regain two hit points unless you are at zero at
the start of that turn. And this is for everybody. Yes, well,
when you're in the while you are within the the the gate of mm
hmmm fire. I don't get this though, correct, man, you don't
get this. So let me just because I wrote it, but I didn't
write it properly because I'm an idiot. You regain two HP at the start
of your turn during combat. Okay, if you take a short rest,
you will heal to fall just because you just if you sit for long enough,
you'll just heal here and you will reclaim the energy that you need to
to to do spells. Sounds good, but we'll see, because we'll see
unless you are at zero at the beginning of your turn. Now, I
wrote this specifically earlier on but then can't find it because I honestly prepared this
whole thing a long time ago. So let me give this to you in
words, regeneration. You now have regeneration. You gain you regain two hit
points at the start of your turn, unless you were at zero at the
beginning of your turn. I think that is how I worded it before when
I first came up with this, very similar to like, oh, I
don't know a vampire. Okay, you guys, sit here for about an
hour. The gate feels like it's energizing you. That heat when you were
first here was horrible. You remember being trapped in this place. It was
just constant. It was like being in a like an oven, or like
when you're trapped in a really stuffy hot room endlessly and that there's just flava
everyboere everywhere, and it was just heating this room up. It felt almost
like there wasn't much oxygen. It's the opposite now, I think oxygen wires.
You can still feel like it's a little kind of stuffy down here,
but realistically it's just healing you. You just feel strong and it feels like
it's regenerating your your skin, your muscles, and it's rejuvenating you and energizing
you a little bit as well. You you will all feel pretty brand new
by the end of this drift. Yeah, you feel how you want to
feel. Got my head, but you understand how to heal and stuff.
Okay, good, yeah, just check it. Yeah yeah, because ah,
this is it. This is the las you know, he's not all
on his own. This is the foot of the last dungeon. It would
be my source of energy as you as you come to the end of this
this rest, you feel pretty great. I think you guys and nineteen ero
r in you get this odd sense of home here, maybe like you've never
felt generally. Yeah, I think there's a sense in all of you that
there is a homely feeling. I wouldn't say necessarily safety because someone is in
your home. But at the end of this rest, you feel pretty good.
What would you like to do next? Stubby is just sat at the
other end of the hall here, has some kind of swearing, dabs his
head and he checks his bow, checks a few arrows, and generally just
seems to be resting and waiting on your guys. Go ahead. I would
just like to say, I do make a cup of tea during this short
rest. I make an entire part of tea for everyone. I think we're
having some tea. Then I'm still addicted, Right, do you want to
be? Yes? It sounded like a hopeful question. I wanted to say
no, because you've all been reborn and you're like a whole other thing now,
But you also sounded like you've wanted to be and how many easy going
tom So, I think, fine, carry your carry your addictions over.
Physically addicted, but nostalgia's I was the war of the two parts of my
brain, where that the GM part is like, no, dude, you've
been reborn. Let's be silly. You've you reprinted your body, and then
the other half of me is like, ah, it was yeah, of
course you're addicted, little guy. Yeah, still has like leftover emotions from
the final Fantasy. N I'm not right if you can't tell. I didn't
know what a pillow was earlier on, so I can't. Don't judge me,
Okay, all right, after some tee then I think i'd get up.
I feel fantastic. Yeah, I feel I feel pretty good too,
and I think I'm ready, Yes, can I raw a check? Caesar
F I know that that's what's going on with us? What is going on
with you? Okay the game? Do we we know we have the regeneration
thing now or do we don't really know? And if that's by that,
I'd like to roll to see if I can figure out that this is what
being close to this area is doing to us, all the stuff it's doing
to us. I think you all vaguely intuited that pretty quickly as your own
selves, so as players, as your player characters, I think you'd into
it that a little bit as well. I think my wound like healed itself.
I think you're I think you're relatively well aware that that the whatever is
going on with the energy that has more dispersed and gave to you is linked
to the energy here, and that energy is bolstering you right now. I
don't think you need to roll a check at all too, And I think
you do understand that it's not like you're invincible, but you are in D
and D. When a dragon is in its lair, it gets extra shit
it can do. And this is your lair now, so you have lair
powers in this. While you're within this dungeon. You can regenerate hit points
at the beginning of your turn. And also you your short rests act like
long rests essentially. I think that whatever it is, I think I was
right with my thought process before we took the rest was right least for myself.
Yes, I also feel fantastic. Yeah, I feel great too.
I think we've waited long enough. How are you feeling. I'm feeling pretty
good, stubby. I am ready to go, man, I was ready
before just a little. We're a bit hot, We're always we're in here,
huh, So that's what we're doing. Okay, we're going, let's
go. Let's go, and you guys head back inside the gate the here.
I'm hot, I'm sweating and out of the air on of the Gate
of Dark Fire lives in the fucking fire from a basement. Now he's got
cold. Right now, it's great. This is the entrance way that you
were in. As you head into and over this threshold, you get that
sense, that wave of coming home once again. But there is something wrong
with this place. The areas of lava, the pool you can see,
kind of burst every now and then with these these the dark fire that you
saw overtake and destroy the village of grit, the dark fire that has burst
from the top of this, That purple flame every now and then bursts up
from these pools of lava, and the the entire gate opens itself up to
you, and you can sense something below disturbing the sanctity of what is essentially
your home, your lair, however you want to perceive it. You look
around you. You can see the same halls, this same red flooring,
the same walls, with the archaic writing over everything, glittering, lighting the
place up a little bit, most notably, the fire and the flava that
runs along rivulets and in palls at various corners along these hallways lights up these
walls in a constant and endless red, every so often permeated with bursts of
purple. Where would you like to go. What would you like to do?
Oh? My god, do we hear any sounds? You may give
me perception checks? Thank you so crits twenty three from nineteen thirteen for me,
Yeah, what the hell was that? Are we in the seaside again?
And an eight from nineteen Umm, RTN, give me another perception check?
That's not good? Twenty three? All right, so yours is at
nineteen. This is I'm going to take as an audio based okayk perception check
because there is definitely nothing in front of you. You're you're looking for traps,
you're preparing for this place to have been, you know whatever. You're
pretty sure there's people in here. You can sense that this ritual is taking
place below and is disturbing the sanctity of this place. But in terms of
immediate threats and things, you don't see anyone here, and you don't hear
any noise than the kind of low rumble of the flava and the the gate
of fire itself. There is really nothing going on in these hallways. However,
hero dear, as you guys start to move very quietly through these hallways,
you hear and you are convinced you here a shuffle like a like a
boot shuffle or a closing shuffle. Some I hold my hand up immediately you
hear it and it comes from ahead of you and down the left hand hallway.
I point down the left hand hallway and I tap my ear. I
nod. Can we move towards it? And I probably I'll probably like hold
up, you're telling me to my lips. You want to move towards it
self? Uh huh, yeah, give me twenty three, stubby roller,
twenty one, twenty one one, come on, nineteen, you got this
nineteen, Come on, buddy, yeah, twenty one. Here's what I'm
going to do for you. You guys start moving down the hallway quietly.
You are like a commando crank team here. As you start to shuffle down
this hallway with almost complete silence, including stubby. As you all move in
unison like a full on like Seals Sas team down this weird way of walking
like a Seal team sloth, but Seal teams cloth starts moving down the hallways
here, and is there any sort of order that you would like to move
forward? So the hallway as it stands, I'm going to just put you,
guys. I'm going to put you guys, like here, the hallway
ahead of you, you went to this room. The room that lies ahead
of you down this hall where Ero you're pretty sure you heard the noise from,
is the one that had the Remember there was the stone sword that you
could move, and it affected the time of the globe that was floating in
the room. That's the room that's ahead of you. It kind of opens
up, Hero, I would say, because you've got the natural twenty on
the perception check, you're pretty sure that the sound either come from the hallway
that you're in now, and you can't see anyone or that room beyond.
It's unlikely you heard anything further ahead, so it's possible there's someone in that
room ahead of you. How do you guys want to move into approach this
room? What do you point to? Nineteen and I point to the point
of the room. I will go up with nineteen. I before I even
move. Okay, look at Hero and I say, and I point at
the light that's in my fucking shield. I turn the light off. There's
a decent amount of light around by the way, I try to globally lit
because it's dynamically it also kind of messes with your vision which going again?
You're heading down down this hallway? Okay, down there, I was like,
there's a single door opening, like and it's the size of probably a
little taller and a little wider than nineteen but only really five feet across.
I've never asked this before, the high kind of doorway, because I've never
had the opportunity to need to ask this. But can I ready an action
out of an initiative tiled combat? So like if I'm walking up there and
I have my shielding front, it can I ready in action if something happens
when I walk into that room? You can't technically. If you want me
to just start initiative, I'm happy to do that and you can. You
can do that, or you can describe to me how you want to approach
this room and you can it broke it like straight up like shield all right
in front of me, like I'm guarding myself like if something pops out hits
me, because I want to remind from earlier, remember that role for the
survival check and seeing if there's any traps? Does that still counting here?
Do you want me to roll again? You would need to roll again,
but you don't need to roll the survival check. It's it's not really a
role, it's just that's how you're approaching the thing. Okay, yeah,
yeah, which is fine. Yeah, you're you're prepared for something to attack
you very much so. And as a group in general, how do you
think you approached this door? Do you have a marching order? Is it
you like running in like ah? Or are you not moving very stealthily?
I think we're just going to try to peek through the door in or moving
in. I'm going to look in first. Yeah, okay, so I
think it's nineteen Wren. Then me Stubby era prily in the back right,
put yourselves where you want to be on here. There we go, okay,
and then I am going to roll one dice to determine your faith and
how this goes. Oh god wow, oh right. You you guys move
up to this doorway and what you see is I think all of these people
facing I guess the other direction or a completely painfully underprepared There are several cultists
hiding in preparation behind all of these pillars rinn. As you move up to
the doorway, you can see that there is leaning against the back of the
other side of the doorway is Kadeir Knightsky, the cultist from Prayed character that
you met in Rose Guard, the guy that sort of led you, gave
you the books, forced you to cut off your finger, told you to
go down into the into the water, to go into the night Storm dungeon.
And he's kind of just there, like leaning against a wall, just
kind of like doing whatever with his nails, like just completely wasting time.
No one in here is aware that you're there. But I think you have
like one second to react before one of them sees you. You, those
of you that walked up to the door, you are in these positions nineteen
ring Drift. You all see this hero. You're aware that these people are
in here. And I think Stubby is like right behind you as well,
and he sees it, and he kind of he quietly reaches up for his
bow. If we have one second to react, can one of them I
want to make a stealth attack. Sneak attack? Yeah, that was the
same way. Wait all right, yeah, and at the same time,
can we go for a fucking attack? Can I be a part of it?
Please? I'm in the back this. I want to point to the
I want to point to the main guy who made me cut off my finger.
And guys, I don't think think you've ever seen Rin look really mad
before, but I look visibly upset, and I appoint to the guy that
main guy there, like watch out for this guy. That's when we all
get a fucking like nod at each other. You are all not at each
other. You all reached for a weapon or begin casting your spells. You
will all get a surprise round on this group of cultists led back to the
next week. Next week, because we're right up at the time. But
you killed it on that thing. They rolled a one on their perception check.
I gave them the like a counter perception to your self, and they
the beginning of the end begins. The beginning of the end begins. Truly
you are in the question, do I is my finger still missing now that
I'm reborn? Yeah? I think you are. You all look the same
as you did before, apart from drift. I think you were the same
like nineteen even has actually nineteen didn't really get reborn, but you have like
the broken armor, any scars or the things you had. So my tattoos
are still here and everything still got your tattoos and everything were born. You
were like copy pasted. Yeah, this is so exciting. Uh nice,
that was pretty good. I actually really was. I wasn't sure how you
were going to show up to that first fight, but that's like literally the
best possible way to Yeah, thank you, final fantasy. That wasn't really
that was a one on this dice. This dice is your friend, and
I'm going to destroy it in time for next week Melted. I'm going to
melt it as as you guys push into this for later Cultists and Kid the
first of the vanguard here death singers, minions, good luck next time.
Until then, we all do a little random shout out and see where people
confined people. This is a super fast episode. I think. I feel
like today went by real. When you were moving up on this room,
I was like, wait, this is too quick. Do we have another
hour? And I was like it took me a moment to work out that
we were at time pretty much, and I was like, what I understand,
Earth is in the right position right now. Yes, all right,
let's do a little round of showers. Let's start with mister John sam Man
people fores, Yo, thanks for watching. That was super fun. Once
again, I went by way too quick. You can find me at the
thing that noodle just popped up in the chat, you can go follow me
on Twitch and all that good stuff. It was great. That was just
I'm shocked it's over. I'm bummed it's over. I miss you guys already.
How many like? No, don't ask him that, please, I
just want to know. I want to know how much longer going against three
or four? I think it's shorter than that. I'm gonna guess two or
three. Oh my god, I don't even get a summer with you,
guys. It's already summer. Yeah, that's true. But you get to
be all hot and bothered in the in the super boiling hot dungeons, So
you don't get to tell me when I'm hot and bothered. When do I
get to tell you? And where Tiger? Right? Nice? Nice?
Nice? Well I wasn't thinking D and D anymore, but that's all right.
Well I was when we're playing Final Fantasy seven next year, and oh
my god, this part yet, and I'm like, no, don't tell
me, and you're like, but you're gonna know already, you already know.
I don't know. I'm locking I've already told Emma that I'm like locking
myself in the room with the big TV and just I don't want to stream
it. Well, don't don't stream it. I don't know, but I
don't think I'll have to see one day before. But I I don't know
why I would because I'm not going to be able to talk or think straight.
So everyone's just going to be like, why is he sat there completely
nude covered in but using like the PlayStation the PlayStation streaming thing where it's just
like a massive white shot of your room with the twitch town on the side's
completely nude covered in butter, just gormless look on my face. Playing fund
of Fanty seven definitely, I feel like I'm going to look and be the
fattest I've ever been because I'm definitely gonna order like pizza, I'm going to
be drink. I'm going to crying. I gonna be as it like as
it releases, like it's gonna be one of those midnight relea grown men crying
for a week. I still remember the very first time I ever played it
was like wax Star. I think that's the very first real like in depths
that I ever got into an RPG. And I still remember was a role
playing game, but like it wasn't on the same level. Yeah for Christmas,
and you don't have the patience to play it. And I was like,
oh yeah, And then I got to the fucking Temple Demon guy and
I got stuck there and quit playing it for two weeks because I was piss
because I couldn't beat him, because we were stuck in that fucking room.
You know. I got stuck on the fucking Zolom when you can't get past
the snake. I couldn't work out to go to the Tocobo kid or whatever
and get one. And I just was there for so long just because I
had never played an RPG. You can beat him. It's just really tough.
I was. I'd never played an RPG. I didn't know what the
hell I was doing or what was happening. I was just completely, you
know, uninformed. I was there forever forever. It was like a week.
You know, you better to keep talking about this. Did where people
watch straight for five more hours? We will yeah at twitch dot tv forward
slash Tiger Rider, where you will be able to see me in HD and
much better camera quality, probably maybe tomorrow, probably Thursday. It all depends
on how the rest of the evening goes for me tonight when I go to
the store and hope that I can buy something to put into the wall that
allows me to have the camera not way over there. I love you big
lenses they have, Like, so what you need to fix your camera problem?
What about this two thousand dollars lens? Camera would immediately just tilt down?
Yeah, they're so heavy. Uh, token of cameras, camera man.
Whang, I'm gonna got a baby lost today. Okay, thanks everybody
for watching that. I hope you enjoyed me playing euro Deer for you today.
It's it's uh, it's weird getting to the near the end of this
because you're a Deer is probably my favorite character that I've ever played a role
playing game, So it's yeah, I mean, you know, there's I
do get like a little board of D and D these days, like just
regular dungeons and dragons because I've played it, literally, I think every week
since it's been out, So there's like a little bit of that like boredom,
but Ero is one of my favorite. This is my favorite character that
I played. You went illusion right, so you could just do some weird,
funky stuff. I wanted to do weird stuff. Yeah, I told
you. I told Brad before I started the character, I was like,
I think I'm just gonna do something really weird with this character and see if
it works. And he's like, all right, do and yeah I did.
And I've really enjoyed ear here. So as we get closer to the
end, it does you know, it's it does. It does pull on
some heart strings, but I hope you guys enjoyed it today. Thanks for
hanging out with us, and yeah, I'm here on tail Story all the
time. Run called Zero Blue Ryan on Mondays. It's anime af with Big
Max and stuff and Brad and Pebe around that. Otherwise, you should come
by tomorrow for Nocturn and Thursday for Ragtags. And we've got the Big Zags
coming up for you. So that's that's the Saint Jude goal that we had,
the first one that's coming up. It's just Saturday, Yeah, Saturday,
two pm Eastern, two pm. It's a six hour, one shot
with eight players. Yeah, it's a big Zags. It's a big,
big Zang. The spin off of a spinoff sounds like spinoff. Yeah,
it's just a. It's a dumb show and it's silly, and it's a
reward for the Saint Jude's it's the first reward that you guys smashed out of
the park a little while ago. And we've managed to work out when it
is, so two pm close to the next one on the fifteenth, that's
Saturday, the fifteenth of June, close to the next one. We're getting
Katie Peters plays the GM something the very first time. Links for that are
on the Twitch channel if you want to, if you're on the pod.
Also, I just see a couple of people confused when Wax said D and
D. He literally means Dungeons and Dragons, not table pop RPGs in general.
He just means literally he's played nothing but DN five E for like five
years, six times a week. It's a lot even I've done, like
I've I've been dming every week for a long time, Like I haven't done
the usual DM training of like once a month. You know that a group
will randomly once a month get together. That seems to be the meme in
general. I've DM like every week since I found it and began to DM,
So you get Yeah, it feels like I've been dming for years,
but I haven't. I'm still scrubb really, so yeah, the last past,
I come to PB last because Peb has all the information on the podcast.
Again just to really, yes, yes, please do that. Go.
I think we just created a link, right, Noodle's going to save
my day. I think so, Please, Noodle, I love you.

really really need your help. It helps us so much. Thank you,
thank you, thank you right there, that first one Apple link. Yeah,
and it'll be in the VOD descriptions. We don't always have VOD descriptions
on Twitch because I don't understand why they exist really, but it's there.

YouTube, then it will be in the description. So just find the the
table story, don't fire iTunes link and rate and rate it well, please
thank you, Otherwise otherwise they'll find Please otherwise they'll fire me. Don't let
them fire me. Also, everyone go and buy Final Fantasy seven, so
that Final Fantasy eight and also Final if it wasn't for Final Fantasy seven.
If you enjoy any of my campaigns, you have Final Fantasy seven to thank
to be honest, because it's not. It's it's its own meme at this
point how much I look at Final Fantasy games and use the JRPG format instead
of the standard. You know, the King has given you a quest,
go to the cave and kill the long stick and come back for a bag
of Luke classic dn D orthodox thing. I'm always like, there's a god
and it tells you to do something insane and then fight it and now the
world is going to blow up if it isn't just only you three can save
the day. That kind of stuff. So it's really I take a JRPG
approach because of how much I love Final Fantasy. So you should all buy
Final Fantasy seven. Thank you very much for watching. Genuinely, I'm just
gonna hashtag ad Final Fantasy seven so that they make eight. You know,
like, all right, well we'll see you next week. It's not over
yet, it's not going to be next ye, We'll see how these guys
do in that next fight. They get a massive massive jump on these dudes.
Human, very very helpful. All right, see you next time.
Thanks, but come see me a mile for not drink Man tomorrow. Yeah,
you didn't do a normal town. I can't. This is
